[Along with Daz Studio] I bought a new bicycle and exploring nearby location. Only drawback is speed is only around 40 kmph but other benefits are huge.

Is it an electric bicycle?
Who sells Daz Studio with bicycles?
I find it super hard to pose victoria in a temple with a sword while I am riding a bike!
I'm very confused... in general, but specifically at this moment...
Are you saying your bicycle doesn't go fast enough or that or that one should use DAZ while bicycling?... Or both?
Although I don't ride my bike as much as I used to, I do agree that needing to exercise when using 3D art products is kinda important, but not necessarily at the same time... especially if you live in an area with a lot of steep cliffs or hungry wolves... because if you aren't paying attention those wolves will steal your bicycle and probably ride it off a cliff and it'll get all bent up... oh, and they'll probably eat you too...
That's probably the more important detail... but either way you really shouldn't be rendering or setting up a scene while riding on a bike... it's too complicated and even if you can successfully manage to balance the monitor, the tower and keyboard on your handlebars, you still have to deal with the mouse or trackball or whatever device you use to use to navigate the scene, which can be a problem on a bumpy road... especially if there are steep cliffs in your area...
I suppose you could get a touchscreen, but the steep cliffs would probably still be a problem... especially if you had the wolves or carnivorous penguins roaming around...
I forgot to mention the carnivorous penguins before... they really aren't a big problem yet, but they first started showing up in major cities last summer because of the virus keeping people indoors and I guess since humans are melting all their icebergs they got pissed off and decided to come down (or up) from the Arctic (or Antarctic) and start eating people as a way of protesting global warming... since most of them are riding bicycles and there aren't a lot of bicycle shops in the Arctic (or Antarctic) I'm assuming they probably stole them from someone on the way down... or up.
The global media isn't focusing on the carnivorous penguins that much anymore and maybe it's just one of those 2020 things like the Murder Hornets or the Creepy Clowns of 2016...
Whatever happened to those creepy clowns?... it's like everyone was freaking out telling us "creepy clowns!", "creepy clowns!"... "Oooooh look out for the creepy clowns!!" and then we just forgot about them because the rest of the world pretty much just went and overnight got exponentially freakier and scarier than friggin' creepy clowns chasing people around in the dark...
I kinda miss the goddamn clowns actually... how messed up is that?
Really... I'm not a clown fan, but in four years we went from creepy clowns to a global pandemic complete with giant killer hornets and all the other nonsense tearing apart society... the friggin' clowns look fairly tame and almost cuddly in comparison.
But anyway... remember to wear a helmet when you ride your bicycle... especially if you have a lot of steep cliffs in your area.
Also the penguins are reported to hit people over the head with crowbars when they attack, so that'll probably protect your head... unless they have started using axes, in which case even a good helmet can only take a whack or two... technically you could use one of those steel medieval helmets, but most museums get all pissy if you take one and then they ban you from coming back anymore... which really isn't a big deal if you own a lot of disguises and are good at sneaking in through bathroom windows and avoiding elaborate security systems... although I'd have to recommend not wearing a nun costume if you are going to do a lot of climbing... the habits can block you vision or fall off and trip a motion sensor... especially the Ademco 5890PI which are really crap, but drop one moth eaten habit and it's like New Year's Day in Times Square... which I'd also recommend not wearing a nun costume to if you ever go there... Mostly because the 52,000 roaming packs of costumed mascots and Elmo impersonators will think you are trying to steal some of their customers and they'll tear you to shreds like bicycle riding wolves...
Oh crap... I think I know the next global crisis... Loonies in character costumes... back in 2016 there were only handful of people in Times Square going around dressed as Elmo, Olaf the Snowman or Winnie the Pooh (by the way Winnie the Pooh shouldn't smell like poo)... now there are packs of them roaming around everywhere trying to get you to take a picture with them... it's like they multiplied...
In fact I'm starting to wonder if they are even costumes and maybe not some kind of hybrid genetic mutations Disney was experimenting with... I've seen some that are definitely like a mix of two characters... like that one with Pikachu's head and Tigger's body... or the one that was half C.H.U.D. and half Super Mario, with a little bit of giant subway rat thrown in... clearly not only are they crossbreeding with each other, but they are crossbreeding with NYC's native Cannnibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers...
In New York we just call them C.H.U.D.s which is okay because back in the early 90's they fought to copyright the name for a series coffee shops they started as the a way of downplaying the cannibalism and radioactive mutant aspects of their nature... for a while Coffee House of Uptown Dwellers was actually a pretty popular place for hipsters and ecstasy zonked out club goers... but they kinda got pushed out by all the Starbucks and the occasional reports of cannibalism by their employees (the CHUDs, not Starbucks... Starbucks stopped that years before)... So if you are in NYC, don't refer to them as Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, just call them CHUDs because they've been really trying hard to distance themselves from the cannibalism and the bad reputation they got in the 80s...
Well, I guess I should end this... I have to start an investigation into the surge in "costumed characters" and see if this is a NYC thing or if it's spreading globally...
Just remember to wear a helmet when rendering on your bike, keep an eye open for wolves, murder penguins... and if you really want to go over 40 KPH with your bike, may I suggest looking into military surplus JATO packs... Jet Assisted Take Off rockets can really add a boost to your top speed, especially if you have steep cliffs in your area... It's definitely an advantage if you have to escape anything that's chasing you... and definitely going to be an advantage to have when the Costumed Character Apocalypse breaks out probably any day now...
Cheers!
I have a folding bike for the time when the lockdown for the plague is over and we have to go back in to the office again... by now, there should be enough segregated streets in San Francisco between the train station & the financial district so it's relatively safe to ride the bike. (Unless the bike lane is converted into housing these days, which would not surprise me.)
I need to fix all the tires and get the gears tuned up, however
Maybe I'll get a viking helmet with horns on it for riding the bike. San Francisco be like that.
I use Carrara and walk
A Bajillion DAZDollars to the first person to successfully creates a mobile bike (or trike) rendering station.
8.00 - 16.00 runtime
16.00 - 17.00 run time
What's the current exchange rate between US $ and DAZDollars?
I'm still working on their time standards... like 1 "Soon" is equal to either one metric week or infinity...
But the nuisances of the DAZ economic system is vexing... DAZ Studio 4.9 - Free... DAZ Staff Picks Celebrate The Year Of The Ox - $ 136.12... An old man's smile when he's looking at a pinup render - Priceless...
It's very complicated, but it's probably like 14 DAZ dollars equal 2.7 Pineapples +/- a calamari ring or two.
